So Putin is propping himself with Chechens?

Who would have thought that possible during the Chechen wars?

Turns out bloodthirsty Putin and the bloodthirsty Chechens found they had more in common than they thought.

Russia and its surrounding states are majority Muslim. About 70% or so..

Those muslims take over that country and all of those cheering the demise of Putin will get to see something they wish they would never would experience.

There is also a unit of Chechens fighting FOR Ukraine.

Also reports of Chechens changing sides to the Ukrain side.
They recall their history, plus probably NOT being paid and poor leadership from above placing them in a wrong position.

Putin “won” the 2nd Chechen war by basically giving in to the Chechens.

He gave Kadyrov his own fiefdom.

Chechnya is “officially” a part of Russia but unofficially fully independent — Russian police or military can’t enter in without an invitation from Grozny, neither can ordinary Russians.

Kadyrov gets large amounts in payback from Putin in return for keeping things quiet.

it’s more or less like the Varangian guards that the Augustii in Constantinople.
